OR Colombia 2027!!!!  From 1979 to 2015, China's one child policy limited most families to a single kid. Now that generation is stuck in the sandwich generation, caring for aging parents and their own children with no siblings to share the load. Today we’ll break down the history of the policy, from forced abortions and son preference to China's sudden flip to pronatalist campaigns, and why daughters are still getting the worst of the caregiving deal.   PLUS: Treat yourself to new merch!
